Chapter 1621 peels back the cocoon

At half past eight in the morning, after An Yi went to work, he immediately found Du Yi and Xu Yichen, two intelligence officers, to inquire about the recent situation of the Northwest Anti-Japanese War. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Du Yi didn't expect An Yi to ask about this, but fortunately, he has been very close to the information on this piece and is personally responsible for everything, so he came at his fingertips without thinking:

"Since Huang Han and Li Xiaolong were ordered to form the Ganqingning Military Region of the Eighth Route Army in March, in early April, Huang Han led the main generals of the former Red 20th Army to cross the Yellow River north, and in the vicinity of Gulang City, he joined nearly 3,000 officers and men of the former Red Army's Western Route Army who had been rescued by the Soviet Red Army and the allied forces of Xinjiang's Shengshicai Army.

"Due to the continuous operations of the coalition forces before, with their strong armament and mobile combat capabilities not inferior to those of the three horses, with the help of aerial reconnaissance aircraft, they adopted the tactics of avoiding the real and attacking the false, basically destroying the ruling foundation of the three horses in the northwest in the Hexi Corridor, coupled with the Japanese army's four-month-long attack on Ningxia City (now Yinchuan), resulting in Ningxia Ma Hongkui's 'Anning Army' having no time to take care of the Hexi Corridor, and Ma Bufang's ' By early July, the Gansu-Qing-Ning Military Region of the Eighth Route Army had established an anti-Japanese democratic regime on tens of thousands of square kilometers of land stretching from Yumen in the north to Gulang in the south.

"During this period, Li Xiaolong and Shi Pufang, relying on their good cooperative relations with us, borrowed 200 million yuan from us as a guarantee for the oil, coal, iron, and agricultural products abundant in the Gansu-Qingning area, and purchased a total of 5,000 Zhongzheng-2 semi-automatic rifles, 50 20mm anti-aircraft guns and 50 37mm anti-aircraft guns, 500 50 mortars, 200 60 mortars, 50 11 mortars, 20 120mm mortars, and purchased a total of 200,000 rounds ......of artillery shells of various types."

"To be able to snatch the territory from the three horses in the Northwest who only know how to oppress the people and only care about their own pleasure, and use the materials to resist the Japanese, we have to support this, but-" An Yi interrupted Du Yi's words with some doubts: "200 million Chinese yuan, it is impossible to order only such a few weapons, right?" ”

Du Yi smiled: "They have also introduced supporting factories that can produce these weapons and ammunition, including infantry ammunition factory, artillery shell factory, steel shell factory, fuse factory, artillery factory, gunpowder and explosives factory, detonator and primer factory, brass factory, coking factory, iron factory, steel mill, steel rolling mill and other ancillary factories, it can be said that a complete military industrial system is all gone!" ”

An Yi couldn't help but smile: "I knew that Li Xiaolong, this kid has a poisonous eye, and Shi Pufang has an idea on the side, he will definitely be eyeing our industrial system." In order to establish a solid base area, it is not enough to rely only on the purchase of weapons and ammunition, but we must produce it ourselves. Is the handover completed? ”

Du Yi said: "The arms were delivered by airship as early as the beginning of May, and the supporting factories were all handed over at the end of last month. ”

"Thanks!?"

An Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "They are obviously causing trouble for us...... If the headmaster knew about this, he would definitely be upset. ”

Xu Yichen on the side confirmed An Yi's judgment: "Since the ** Central Committee uses a clear code to send reports, Nanjing received the news as soon as possible, and Chief of General Staff He immediately met with Chairman Jiang, and heard that the principal at that time had dropped the cup......"

An Yi frowned, and then said calmly: "This is a normal transaction, and no one can help us." Aren't we cooperating with the Nanjing government to develop tungsten ore, copper ore and other mineral deposits and oil? The purpose is to better fight devils, what is the difference between each other? I heard that the Nationalist Government is holding a meeting to discuss the suspension of military salaries for the Eighth Route Army that fought across war zones. ”

Xu Yichen nodded: "The situation of the Eighth Route Army is a bit bad now. In the 38th year, the Eighth Route Army went deep behind the enemy lines, and had advanced the battle line to the northern part of Jin, Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe, eastern Hebei, and central Hebei, and the Japanese army dealt with it very skillfully, and they used a large number of Javanese, Xunren, Batak, Minangkabao and other Lanyin natives who migrated from the Lanyin Islands as the backbone of their rule, and arranged these Lanyin natives in every village and town in North China according to a certain proportion, divided the fields and land, and also built Islamic churches in villages and towns, and gave them better treatment. These land-leaved land-based land-based land-bounds do not understand the language, have different beliefs, and have very different living customs from our people, so they can only rely on the Japanese colonial authorities to wreak havoc everywhere, and according to the regulations, these people belong to the United Front Force...... At present, the situation of the Eighth Route Army in various base areas in North China is not particularly good! ”

An Yi was a little surprised: "Talk about united front with those natives?" That's too difficult, isn't it? How many indigenous people have been immigrated to North China by now? ”

"About 20 million!" Xu Yichen said: "Not only North China, but also Northeast China and North Korea also have a large number of Lanyin indigenous immigrants, and recently they have begun to transport them to the coastal areas of the Far East, and the intention of mixing sand is obvious!" ”

An Yi thought about it for a while, and also felt that Little Japan's trick was vicious enough.

Just imagine, a village with more than half of the lazy Lanyin people, who are not as good as the hard-working Chinese in terms of work and growing grain, can they except sell intelligence to their Japanese masters in exchange for food and clothing that can sustain themselves? Moreover, these Lanyin people, who are unfamiliar with the land, will definitely form a group to protect themselves, which further aggravates the contradictions in North China.

"In this way, it is very difficult for the Eighth Route Army to build an anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines......" An Yi said thoughtfully.

Xu Yichen said: "It is very difficult, but the New Fourth Army in the Shandong Peninsula has a good momentum of development, because there is no indigenous immigrants in the area, and the Japanese are busy fighting, and the local control is not effective, the anti-Japanese base areas have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain." Moreover, the New Fourth Army also built a large number of anti-Japanese democratic regimes in northern Jiangsu, southern Lunan, northern Anhui, and southwestern Henan, which seriously disturbed the people, to protect the people and industry and commerce, and often clashed with warlords who went to the countryside to grab grain. ”

"As far as I know, the discipline of the Central Army is still strict at the moment, but those local troops dare not compliment!" Du Yi on the side sighed: "Those warlords think that they are on the front line of the anti-Japanese war, and if they work hard, the people should welcome them and pour their wealth and let them fish and meat." I have heard that in many places, there have been riots in which the common people could not bear the exploitation of the people, and the Japanese army took advantage of these opportunities to march several times to the Longhai Railway, and although they were eventually driven back, the casualties and impact were very great. Although the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Theater Command have applied for the award several times, they have not achieved much success. ”

An Yi frowned slightly: "It's a pity that our army's strength is stretched thin now, otherwise now the main force of the Japanese army is deep in Siberia, and it is a good time to recover Shandong." ”

Xu Yichen shook his head: "Even if we want to take the initiative to fight, Chairman Jiang will not allow it, now that the An Jiajun is famous, Nanjing has tried to avoid publicizing and reporting the achievements of the An Jiajun, blocking all the news that happened in South China, Mongolia, the Far East and other places, and not mentioning the matter of the An Jiajun fighting with the Japanese army in Siberia. ”

"No way, this is the realistic version of the gun hitting the forest bird!" Du Yi smiled faintly: "According to the strength of the An Jiajun in the Central Asian battlefield, it is estimated that Nanjing and the warlords from all walks of life have been greatly stimulated, and their vigilance against us has been invisibly deepened, so if you hear that we are going to use troops in the country, it is strange not to oppose it en masse!" ”

An Yi waved his hand: "That's it, let's not talk about this, continue the topic just now, has Huang Hanbu made any moves recently?" ”

"Yes!"

Du Yi sorted out his thoughts a little and continued to report: "Ma Bufang's 'Ning Navy' is also known as 'Qingma', and Ma Hongkui's 'Ning Army' is also known as 'Ning Ma', these two departments have always believed in the creed of 'having the right to have soldiers, and having the right to have money', taking 'grasping soldiers' as the primary condition for their own existence and development, and using various ways and opportunities to expand the army. Ningma' also began to follow suit, and the people in the Ganqingning area could not bear the Ma Jiajun's dispatch of troops, grain, and grass, and the contradictions were extremely acute, and riots often occurred, which brought opportunities for the development of the Huang Han Dynasty.

"After the Huang Han Department entered the Hexi Corridor to establish a base area, in view of the actual situation, it promulgated policies such as 'reducing or reducing commercial taxes and land rents, cracking down on reactionary landlords and herdsmen, abolishing harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes and sending troops, reclaiming wasteland for five years without tax exemption, and helping the people build water storage cellars for free', which won praise from the people, and in just a few months, the Huang Han Department has expanded to 20,000 people, and the base area has also grown rapidly."

"How did they deal with the elusive cavalry attack of the Ma family's army? I remember that the Red Army failed in its western expedition and suffered from the inability to cope with the cavalry! An Yi asked.

Du Yi explained in detail: "The Huang Han Department got 10,000 war horses from Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang, plus the Soviet army helped arm an armored regiment, and the mobility ability was greatly increased, and then on the hill where the 'Qingma' and 'Ningma' must pass through the hills, there were sentry posts, and after discovering the traces of the cavalry, they immediately lit a beacon fire to give early warning; before entering the base area, the Ma Jiajun would be at least harassed by three to five groups of cavalry, and our 50 caliber smoothbore mortars weighed only 4.5 kilograms without the launch base, Twenty-five to twenty-eight shells could be fired per minute, and the cavalry units of the Ma Jiajun suffered heavy casualties without engaging the battle; When the Ma Jiajun finally rushed into the base area, what was waiting for them was the infantry that had already completed the assembly, and there was no other way but to escape. ”

An Yi's eyes lit up: "This Huang Han has won the essence of sports warfare!" It is worthy of being a teacher in Kang University for a few years, and he is even more powerful than before! ”

Du Yi smiled and said, "Chairman, you, the senior brother of Huangpu, will only get more and more powerful." I'm afraid the chairman doesn't know that after Sheng Shicai was coerced into sending troops to Central Asia, the cavalry unit that had reached one division in Qinghai, Gansu and other places had been handed over to Huang Han's command. Li Xiaolong is now in Dihua, Xinjiang, and has fully taken over the factories and enterprises aided by the Soviet Union there, and the whole of Xinjiang has become the largest rear. ”

Xu Yichen suddenly realized: "No wonder...... Late last month, Chairman Chiang appointed Liu Zhi as chairman of Xinjiang Province, but Dihua, in the name of Sheng Shicai, sent a murderous welcome telegram, saying that the new chairman would not give any guarantee for the safety of his person and property in Xinjiang. A few days ago, Liu Zhi flew to Xi'an and asked General Gu Zhutong to send troops to accompany him into Xinjiang. ”

"That pig is coming back?"

An Yi couldn't help but wonder: "Third Brother Mo won't be so unwise." Huang Han's control of the Hexi Corridor is equivalent to putting a lock on the gate of Xinjiang, and Liu Zhi can only stare at the throne of the chairman of Xinjiang Province and drool! ”

Xu Yichen said suddenly: "**In Dihua and the northern and southern regions of Xinjiang, I bought grain and livestock on a large scale, and ordered a lot of chili peppers and cloth from our Syrian government at a high price, I don't know if it is to deal with the possible attack of the Central Army?" ”

"Buying grain, peppers, cloth?"

An Yi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and hurriedly asked the staff officer to send a large picture of the Xinjiang region, and after hanging it on the wall, he carefully observed the topography of southern Xinjiang, and finally sighed:

"I now finally understand where the heavy artillery in Almaty has gone!"
